All in Africa Challenge Hey Guys, As you all know the Covid - 19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on a lot of people, and we're experiencing these effects first hand in South Africa. I've accepted the @allin_africa challenge after being nominated by @siya_kolisi_the_bear and @abdevilliers17 . I've donated one of my almost new IXU bats and my Pink ODI shirt from the 2016 Pink ODI against England that will be auctioned on All in Africa's website. All of the proceeds of the auction will go towards a project I've launched with the Hillsong Africa Foundation. The goal of the project is to raise R500 000 that will be used to feed vulnerable children from local communities. Every donation will go a long way in helping these children. If you'd like to make a bid on these items, please check out link in my bio Stay safeA post shared by Faf du plessis (@fafdup) on
